Hey all! It's been a while since I posted. My H (eric_h_e) has been posting more than I. However, plants aren't his department. I bought a new blue-blooming water lilly. It was sprouted with about three leaves. Once home I potted it in a thin layer heavy clay with thin shale chards over it to keep it in he pot and weigh the whole thing down. Now my koi are eating the leaves. It only has one left now! I cut the bottom out of a 1 gallon pot and tied it to the planter so it floats at the water level around the leaves to at least give this thing a chance to get established. So far so good it seems to be greeting a reprieve. This is the only water lilly they get after, they don't bother the other two, they don't eat my water clover, watercress, parrot's feather, & a couple other I can't remember the name of..go figure. I feed them every day at the same time and I stand there and feed them till they don't come back for more. (Yes, I scoop out any left.) Any other thots?
